Staying alert

As cities expand worldwide, it becomes harder for animals to find natural shelters. If you see an animal out of its habitat, it is essential to contact professionals. This happened when trapped animals were found under a shallow storm grate. Although the grate was not very deep, the animals could not escape. The firefighters, alerted to the situation, first thought they were small trapped animals. But after hearing their cries, they realized they were babies. Once rescued, the little ones were taken to the Woodland Park veterinary clinic.

At the clinic, young animals like fox kits are cared for until they are strong enough to return to the wild. While people often think a lone young animal is always in distress, that is not always the case. But in situations like this, quick, proper intervention can make all the difference.
